I would go with the 711m block, they were a sort after block back in the day. we used to have um bored out to a 1725 with a fast road rally cam.They were good strong engines and if it is a 1600E back axle fit that with it.
If only cars were that simple today, oh well we can dream.
Good luck with it.

the 1300 is a 711m aswell
the block codes were 711m AA =1300cc and 711m BA =1600cc

Well they do say there is no accounting for cc, so bigger is better
go with the 1600

according to your measurements its 45 litres. 9.8 gallon. you can use a 1600xflow with a 1300 head to get some good accelaration going, sounds wrong but its true

45 litre,s at approx £1.40 a litre = £63 i,ll never have the cash to fill it best make it a bit smaller as for 1300 head on 1600 block i,v seen it done i used to build engine,s for F2 stock cars 2litre pinto,s were limited tuning and raced against 1300cc crossflow which were allowed almost unlimited tuning the 13,s would eat the 2litre,s on a tarmac track by hell theyd ,,,,scream,,, but the 2litre,s were better on shale because on the bottom end torque.. oh happys days they were |
